Coastal Confessions

 

Coastal Confessions Lyrics

Well, I`m a tidal pool explorer
From the days of my misspent youth
I believe that down on the beach
Where the seagulls preach
Is where the Chineese buried the truth

So I dig in the sand
With my misguided hands
And if I dig deep enough
Hell, I just might dig it up
Talkin` about treasure
Talkin` about pleasure
Talkin` about Love

Now I`m a reader of the night sky
And a singer of inordinate tunes
That`s how I float across time
Livin` way past my prime
Like a long lost baby`s balloon

So I hang on to the string
Work that whole gravity thing
But when my spaceship goes pop
Back to the Earth I will drop
Into the sea
Or the limbs of a tree
Or the wings of my love

Chorus:
And I don`t know what I`m supposed to do
Maybe invent me a story or two
I`ve got coastal confessions to make
How about you, how about you

They say that time is like a river
And stories are the key to the past
But now I`m stuck in between
Here at my typing machine
Trying to come up with some words that will last

It`s so easy to see
That we live history
And if I just find the beat
I know I`ll land on my feet
I always do
Haven`t got a clue
Cause they come from above

(Chorus)

Let`s go to church, Sonny


So bless me Father
Yes, I have sinned
Given the chance I`ll probably do it again
I don`t need absolution
Just a simple solution will do

So let`s talk about the future
Or the consequences of my past
I`ve got scars, I`ve got lines
I`m not hard to define
Just an alter boy coverin` his ass

I know I can`t run and hide
But just hang on for the ride
There will be laughter and tears
As we progress through the years
But still it`s fun
Hey, I`m not done
Gonna dance till I fall

(Chorus:)
And I don`t know what I`m supposed to do
Maybe have me a boat drink or two
It`s good for coastal confessions I hear
Tell the truth, tell the truth
I got some coastal confessions to make
How about you, how about you
How about you, how about you
`n you, `n you, `n you

(Spoken:)
Uh, 42 years since my last confession.
Well, Father, do you have the rest of the week
Let`s get started
I had impure thoughts
I smoked some pot
Stole some peanut butter
Father, wake up....
